@BgRemoverPhotoBot removes the background from a photo and sends a transparent PNG file with no watermark, usually in about 3 seconds, all inside Telegram. It also compresses photos, converts HEIC to JPG, changes the format and resizes. The free limit is 10 background removals and 30 other edits a day, and a cut-out comes back at up to 2048 px on the long side — fine for social media and marketplaces, not for large prints.

Photo or file?
Send the picture as a file (📎 → File) to keep the original quality; a normal photo is compressed by Telegram before the bot gets it. The result always comes back as a file.
Alternatives
- Telegram's sticker editor — Can cut out an object with one tap, but the result is a sticker, not a PNG file (Telegram blog).
- @StickerMakerFromPhotoBot — If you want a sticker with an outline rather than a PNG.
